15Additional Information
Board-certified Internal Medicine physician with 15 years of continuous experience practicing Hospital Medicine in acute-care inpatient settings. I am actively practicing as a hospitalist and remain current on contemporary inpatient standards of care, diagnostic guidelines, and evidence-based clinical decision-making. I provide medical-legal consulting for attorneys evaluating inpatient hospital medicine cases. My work focuses on retrospective review of medical records to assess standards of care, diagnostic decision-making, treatment appropriateness, escalation of care, and medical causation. This includes analysis of complex hospital courses, evolving clinical presentations, delays in diagnosis, and failures or appropriateness of escalation. My consulting work is grounded in real-world inpatient practice and reflects how medical decisions are made in hospital environments, including multidisciplinary communication, handoffs, and time-sensitive clinical judgment under uncertainty. I provide clear, objective analysis to assist counsel with early case screening and case assessment and development.
